Although seamless knit is established in intimate apparel, extension of the technology to outerwear has been slow to attract consumers. One way to add value to seamless knit products is to create unique surface patterning to enhance the appearance. This research investigates the possibilities of resist-dyed structures on knitted fabrics, including garments created by computerized seamless-knitting technology. Resist-dyeing techniques have been traditionally created by numerous hand methods around the world, such as wax resist, yarn resist, and tied-fabric resist. This research shows a new analysis and interpretation of conventional tied-fabric resist methods by incorporating advanced knitting technology.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF THE TEXTILE INSTITUTE}, author={Choi, W. and Powell, N.
